You Can't Say That On Television!

Oh, yes you CAN!   It's ironic that most of the new bad words on primetime TV shows are in the so-called 8-9p "family hour."

The TV word du jour:  douche.  As in, "he's a douche."  NYT:  The word has surfaced at least 76 times already this year on 26 prime-time network series, according to research by the Parents Television Council, which compiled the statistics at the request of The New York Times. That is up from 30 uses on 15 shows in all of 2007 and just six instances on four programs in 2005.

Let's see.  These days in these United States it's acceptable to call some poor sucker a douche in the media but God forbid TV should cross the line of annoying "political correctness" and call a Muslim terrorist a terrorist. Or Muslim.
